Your body makes a little of it on its own. But when you train hard \u2014 weights, cardio, HIIT, whatever \u2014 you burn through it fast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its main job?&nbsp;<br>To help your muscles <strong>fight fatigue<\/strong> so you can push harder, longer.*&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does this by supporting your levels of <strong>carnosine<\/strong>, a compound that buffers acid in your muscles (aka the \u201cburn\u201d you feel mid-set).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less burn = more reps = more results.*&nbsp;<br>And yes, <strong>the tingle is totally normal<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s called <em>paresthesia<\/em>. It just means your body\u2019s absorbing it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amplifi.pattern.com\/f4a0342e-3866-444c-a244-253e425f10ae_medium.webp\" alt=\"A close-up shot of two black containers of a pre-workout supplement labeled 'BAMF,' featuring a vibrant galaxy-themed design with a prominent orange deer logo and bold white text.
